With the recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping deals, I am sure quite a few of you went out splurging. After all, it’s just absurd to pass up an amazing deal. On that note, do any of you use coupons, discounts or other ways to rack up points? If you answered “no” to any of these, my question is “Why?” Personally, I feel it’s time-consuming to scour for deals and promos, so I’ve decided to find other means to make more bang for my buck. That’s where credit card rewards come into play.
Credit card rewards are a big part of my day-to-day, especially around the holidays. I do a lot of holiday shopping and a lot of traveling, so a good rewards card is important to me. These types of cards can help me with everything from maintaining our household budget to shopping to travel. One of my favorites is the Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card from Chase. I mean, with more than 5,700 hotel options around the world, what’s not to like? .
As a blogger, wife, doggy mom and daughter, I do a lot of shopping and traveling. My blog takes me to all kinds of events – which are super fun – and being a wife, daughter, doggy mom and friend require me to shop a lot as well. Between dog care, birthday & Christmas gifts, regular household items and the expenses of traveling, I do a lot of spending.
Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card from Chase is the best card I’ve seen because its rewards program and special offers. Believe it or not, you can earn points on every purchase toward a free night stay at Marriott! On top of it all, the points don’t expire as long as you make a purchase every 24 months!
And I’m not the only one who will love this program. A survey from Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card from Chase found that 47% of Americans have shopped at stores where they had coupons or discounts in order to save money. The survey also reveals that women are especially fond of coupons, with 54% taking advantage of these deals versus 40% of males. I can definitely relate to that! When it comes to the holidays, expenses can add up extra quickly – so it’s important to find either a deal or reward for your spending.
Between all of my travel and holiday shopping, it’s essential to stay up-to-date on the latest rewards cards and programs. Take a look at this great card for yourself, and see how it can make your purchases work harder for you!

January 14, 2017I love Marriott’s 80k point offer. Problem is I am in Canada and some rewards are much lower compared to offers in USA. For example I only get 30k points with Marriott. But I love the idea of using credit cards for rewards.
